Interactive Recycling Museum Opens in Delaware

DSWA_EnviBldgThe Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) recently held its grand opening for a new interactive solid waste and recycling education center and museum. The Environmental Education Building, which is available to school and community groups by appointment, will offer visitors a chance to explore all of the solid waste management and recycling options offered by DSWA. Visitors will see how items being left for curbside pick-up get turned into new products. Call2Recycle®, who has been a partner with DSWA since 2010, provided a video kiosk that will walk viewers though what happens to a rechargeable battery after it is dropped off for recycling.

There are 30,000 locations (over 100 in Delaware alone) to recycle rechargeable batteries and cellphones – visit call2recycle.org/locator to find your nearest drop-off site.
